Sri Sai Dance Academy

Please join us for K*m. Sahaasra Sista's ICAPS performance and bless her for her first solo performance. This program is free and open to the public, so we hope to see you there!

Thank you to for making this wonderful platform available for our young dancers.

A snippet from one of our practices, where some learned this rich piece years ago and are revising or exploring nuances, while others are discovering it for the first time as they learn each jathi and variation.

Whatever stage of the learning process they're in, practice makes progress and there is always room to grow.
